To conduct thorough background research on your client and gather comprehensive information such as social media profiles, images, and reviews, it is crucial to employ a variety of search strategies beyond simply using the company's name. Consider searching for the business name in conjunction with its location, phone number, business address, or even the client's email address. This diversified approach often reveals valuable media and information that might otherwise be overlooked. Meticulous attention to detail in your research process will ensure that your site incorporates all relevant content available online and minimizes the likelihood of requiring revisions.

Are you looking for some creative inspiration when designing the various sections on your website? Or perhaps you are simply trying to take your site to the next level in terms of design. If so, I would like to direct you to the section presets that are available to you within Duda. Simply hover between two rows and click on the "Add a new section" button. Here, you will find a number of different preset sections that can help spark your creativity when thinking about different ways to display information. Take a look for yourself, and maybe even try including one on the next site you build!

Streamline your workflow and efficiency by optimizing the mobile and tablet views of your homepage before duplicating it. Doing this before duplicating the homepage for secondary or dynamic pages ensures that all necessary adjustments are made already, preventing repetitive and time-consuming edits later on.
However, it is still important to check the mobile and tablet views again once your website is complete. This final check ensures that any new additions to pages duplicated from the homepage are correctly formatted.

What's to know about out-links? Out-links are an important block to building strong SEO for a site. When researching links to add to the page, it's good to get a range of website addresses to expand the company's outreach. Therefore, duplicate links will have adverse effects on SEO. Sometimes it can be hard to find the right resource, and even harder when the keyword is unusual or uncommon.
To help ease the process, here is a list of go-to websites to use when adding out-links to the FAQ or collections:
bbb.org
dexknows.com
ebusinesspages.com
hotfrog.com
local.com/business/results/listing
manta.com
showmelocal.com
superpages.com
whitepages.com
yellowpages.com
yelp.com
